Cox Arboretum Wedding

Hello All,

I did a really great wedding today the Cox Arboretum in Dayton, OHIO. David and Puyh Lai tied the knot in front of the fireplace in the 5/3 Pavilion next to the lake.

Kathy with "Your Dream Day" wedding planners saw to all of the details from the flowers to the orange colored drape that adorned the unity candle table. Kathy is a real professional and the quality of her events is very evident.

The couple are madly in love and when the Bride entered the room the Groom looked as if his heart would jump out of his chest. It was a small wedding party with a Best Man and Maid of Honor but there were two Junior Bridesmaids who pulled a wagon with the couples 10 month old son on board. There was an adorable Flower Girl and a very handsome Ring Bearer.

The reading today was poem by Maya Angelou which spoke of love. Here is a copy of it.

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from deight, live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies, old memories of pleasure, ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity

In the flush of Love's light we dare be brave

And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.

Good luck and God Bless.......Rev BB
